A Jacksonville rapper was tragically killed last week in a shooting incident on A Phillip Randolph. Kenneth Glover Jr., 30, was shot and murdered around 9 p.m. on Friday. As detectives gathered evidence at the scene, a crowd of people gathered near the police tape.
Glover Jr.’s father desperately tried to reach his son’s body, but was stopped by officers. His girlfriend, named Neshia, spoke to reporters and expressed her devastation over the loss. She described Glover Jr. as the heart of the Eastside community and the world of their son. She mentioned that his death came just before their son’s first birthday party, and that their lives will forever be changed without him.

The rapper, known as Tiger Sparks to his loved ones, had a close relationship with Dana Miller, the owner of Man-Cave Barbershop. Miller fondly recalled how Glover Jr. would affectionately call him Uncle and would playfully tease him whenever he stepped outside. Tragically, Glover Jr. was shot near Miller’s shop, which has now become a memorial site for him.
Miller, who had also experienced the loss of his own brother to gun violence, now actively campaigns against such acts. He mentioned the pain he felt upon hearing the news of Glover Jr.’s death and how it reminded him of his own personal tragedy. The bullet holes in the wall near his shop serve as a constant reminder of the violence that took place.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has not made any arrests in connection with the shooting. Their only lead is a dark 4-door vehicle that was seen speeding away from the area during the incident. As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of a talented rapper and beloved individual.
